The security of your information is our top priority

We store personal information on secure servers that are managed by us and our service providers, and occasionally hard copy files that are kept in a secure location. Personal information that we store is subject to security and access controls, including username and password authentication and data encryption where appropriate.

While we do take reasonable steps to secure your Personal Information from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure, you should be aware no security procedures or protocols are ever guaranteed to be 100 percent secure from intrusion or hacking, and there is therefore always some risk assumed by sharing Personal Information online.

If there is a high risk of harm in the event of a breach we will report to the ICO as soon as possible after becoming aware of the breach and to the data subjects as soon as possible.

We're always looking to improve Products and Services we provide. This means we may need to change our Privacy Policy from time to time (i.e. our lawyers will tell us to change them...). But don't worry - we'll try to keep you informed when something is different.

We want you to feel confident about your data. Got questions? Get in touch.

We value your trust. If we ever send you something you find annoying, just email us, and let us know. There is always someone real at our end that reads emails and we do action requests, comments, and complaints.
